Final Blog!!

The final blog sounds so depressing…. Just kidding I’m so happy I actually wasn’t a huge fan of the blogs. I know they were supposed to be fun and creative but they were actually really stressful for me. I think I am a fun or creative but if you read my blogs, you would think I am so incredibly boring. I never had any pictures or funny stories, I was always straight to the point. Truth be told, I always forgot to do them until right before they were due…kind of like this time…..sorry. But I even think the blogs were my least favorite genre because I felt you had to be so creative and interesting but I still saw it as an academic assignment because my peers and my professor were going to read them. Having a length or word minimum was also very stressful because some things just were that inspirational enough to write hundreds of words about. most of the time though, I wasn’t enough close to the word minimum so I just stop writing because no one wants to read a bunch of pointless words. Also, in a really shy and private person so knowing people were going to read my writing scared me.

But my favorite genre would have to be the narrative. I would it was cute to remember this important memory and use it in our writing. It was also probably the easiest because there was no research or too much analysis, it just came from remembering something important to you. At first I was really confused when we had to think of a discourse community but once I thought of one, everything else was a piece of cake. We got to use that memory and analysis it now that we’re a little bit older and have some distance from that situation so I feel like we were about to learn a lot not just about the situation but also about ourselves. So that was really cool because in a RWS class, I really didn’t expect to learn something about myself. I was out here trying to learn about different genres.

My first resume was in high school and it was the worst, I was such a lame high school student, I never participated in anything. I had volunteered in some things but I didn’t think those things mattered but they ended up completely necessary because they gave me something to fill up my resume with. I remember I was just trying to find any job in the mall, I ended working in a retail job, which was the worst. If folding clothes and dealing with stressed holiday shoppers doesn’t make you want to cry then I don’t know what to tell you. I think I got the job because of my resume because I had done some stuff even if my volunteer stuff wasn’t related to working retail but I guess the fact that it was the holiday season and they needed a bunch of people to work was also a big factor too.
